Abstract

The newly developed technology—pigai.org is an effective system in helping teachers mark articles and providing revision feedbacks instantly. The introduction of the system into Xiamen University proved to be a win-win model, and was accepted by both teachers and students. As can be seen from the recently-held national writing contest 2015 and the survey conducted in May, this new technology gives teachers new options in doing the writing tasks and brings incentives to students to revise their composition and improve the score. Although like most new techniques, this system faces question in handling the key element in writing—critical thinking, it does promise a bright prospect of a more flexible and interesting writing experience.
